The Europeans in Australia by Alan Atkinson
The first of three volumes of the landmark, award-winning series The Europeans in Australia gives an account of early settlement by Britain. It tells of the political and intellectual origins of this extraordinary undertaking that began during the 1780s, a decade of extraordinary creativity and the climax of the European Enlightenment. Atkinson examines, as few historians have done before, the political and intellectual origins of this extraordinary undertaking.
Alan Atkinson is the author of several books, including Camden: Farm and Village Life in Early New South Wales, which helped to introduce new forms of social history to Australia, and The Commonwealth of Speech, an argument about history writing in the 21st century and about the links between the national past and present. He has been a Fulbright scholar and a visiting fellow at the universities of Cambridge, London, and Melbourne, and at the Australian National University.
